Fun House Theatre and Filmr presents Woody Allen’s philosophical comedy God with Matt Lyle at the directorial helm on October 2 through 10. Hepatitis and Diabetes set out in search of the truth, free will, and a way to conclude their play. Chinese takeout, anyone?

To double the fun of this one-act existential fantasy, the show is paired with a set by Unicorn Clearance improvisers drawn from the Fun House ranks. The under-17 performers have been working with each other for years, making for clever repartee.

The Laugh Supper

The Laugh Supper has been picking up steam, selling out their fourth main-stage show. Formed in 2014 from mainly of Baylor graduates, it has been consistently growing in popularity. Now performing at Dallas Contemporary Theater, the short-form game-style improv group is sort of a cross between Second City and Whose Line Is It Anyway?

“So far every show that we've put on has sold out despite adding additional seats each time, which we are pretty excited about,” says leader DeAndre Upshaw. “We've moved to a bigger venue (Contemporary Theater of Dallas) that can seat more people, so we're working on harnessing that momentum and making sure we can keep up with demand. The group offers free shows through the Dallas Public Library, and have branched into corporate performance.
